Google has announced that it will offer two separate Google+ widgets for companies to add to their websites to encourage content sharing. The +1 button will remain, allowing logged-in users to signify that they like a piece of content. However, Google is adding a Google+ Share button, which will allow users to display a link to website content along with an excerpt and image on their Google+ profiles. This update caters to the popularity of the +1 button, in spite of Google+’s problems becoming a commonly used social network
